Abstract
The purpose of this report is to investigate the way that our “Town Planning” lessons will
be widely applied and the supporting methods for teachers. For this purpose, a questionnaire was
given to senior high school in home economics teachers in Ishikawa prefecture. The results are as
follows:
① 50% of the teachers thought that our “Town Planning” lessons were difficult for senior
high school students, 70% teachers thought our“Town Planning” lessons were effective for
learning and 80% were interested in them.
② Our “Town Planning” lessons were recognized as home economics lessons. But the lessons
took a lot of time and provided various activities for the students. So our “Town Planning”
lessons were also found to be suitable for “Integrated Study”.
③ Many teachers didn't want to put into practice “Town Planning” lessons, because of the
lack of their knowledge and experience as well as some difficulty in the students' activities.
④ Self experience of “Town Planning” lessons, observation of practicial “Town Planning” lessons
and getting more information from special books and materials will be a great support
to home economics teachers.
